Aimsun uses the Contents to filter through all the matrices and find those that can be used in a given context. For example, in the Distribution Scenario editor, the combo for Skim matrices lists only the matrices with the appropriate User Class and Contents equal to Cost, Distance, Travel Time, Speed or Toll:

It’s important that you make sure you set the matrix Contents correctly, otherwise you may not be able to select them when you need to later on. For example, if you want to use a matrix as Max Deviation Matrix in a Static OD Adjustment, you have to set its Contents as Max Deviation:

You can set the Contents to one of the following options:
